<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longshot, post: 2368088, member: 76266&quot;]As far as your question of bullion vs. numismatic, I have no idea. Equally qualified people can argue both sides of that one all day and all night. It&#039;s really just a matter of personal opinion and preference. And you&#039;re hearing plenty of caution, which is good. Just for one thing, as beginners we all made mistakes. But everyone has to start somewhere. Buy coins you like - yes - and to go a little farther....If you are looking to collect coins with a chance at longterm profit in mind, or at least minimizing your losses, you need knowledge. Your budget isn&#039;t big, it doesn&#039;t need to be to enjoy this hobby. But problem-free coins with above average eye appeal, scarcer items, coins with big price jumps in the next grade, etc. likely have a better shot of at least holding their value or rising in value and seem like smarter buys then generic, common items. Plus they are more fun to own. And they will likely sell better someday. Also watch out for that itch to buy something that can make a fellow go home with sub-par or overpriced stuff. As far as being able to pick stuff up cheaply enough to quickly turn a significant profit.....keep your eyes open for those opportunities, but they don&#039;t happen often for most of us. Happy Collecting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
